I have been trying to learn Live and production in general for the past few months, but I'm not happy with how stuff sounds with software-only tracks. Still, I would suggest that anyone looking for new music give production a try. If we create music in our own mold, we can surely add some new blood to Acid. Maybe having the tracks sound home brewed is actually OK, as it's closer to the spirit of early Acid where people were producing raw music in their secret little studios.
My problem with vinyl is all down to price. Even if good releases come out, exchange rates mean that a single 12" is at least USD15 for me. That is just too pricey, and I must stick with digital now.
